Melvins 1983 Mullet

[Jozzy]

Got mine today!

[))))((((]

The keyboard bit at the end of 'Fuck Around' VERY much reminds me of Carly Simon's hit 'Coming Around Again'. Surely intentional right?

CDs arrived!

Fun EP. Bring on a full 83 album again! The T-bird logo/cover art looks very similar to a High On Fire shirt I have from the last time I saw them live, summer '15.

Does anyone know if a digital version of this cd is floating around anywhere? I do realize it hasn't officially been released digitally.

I don't even own a CD player anymore! I'll prob still buy it though...

I'm listening to the CD. The verses of "Fuck Around" and the main riff of "Bouncing Rick" have a sound that I can only describe as 'low bitrate encoding.'

I also heard this on the Bandcamp for the Working With God album and ignored it as just low bitrate encoding.

Anyone else?

i can see what you mean, you call it 'low bitrate encoding' ... i call it 'Toshi recording'

Are you talking about the weird volume drops?

Sort of a volume drop in the verses, but more like a loss of high end definition and a sloshy sound overall

Yes, it sounds a little bit darker, maybe mid-scooped.

I love the material but I agree the production is a little off. Caddy daddy sounds muffled. The past few albums have had weird production with the shitkid collab being the worst. I know it's just an EP but it sounds terrible. I remember an interview with buzz where he said something like " we didn't spend much time on it, we don't overthink things anymore " etc. I'm paraphrasing. But it's like yea, sounds like you just went in, in a day and shit it out. I like a lot of the stuff they've done with Toshi but it wouldn't kill em to step out and work with someone else every now and then. I read buzz said he'd like to work with joe barresi again. Stoner witch is one of their best sounding albums. I know we get a lot more material with then using toshi and their own studio but maybe one day they will step out of their comfort zone.

I would LOVE for any of that Cynthia Massey stuff to come out. Maybe it was just a single song session but I have a hard time believing they didn't at least sound check a few tunes.
